The exhibition tells the story of this cathedral developed over four centuries, and still unfinished, which endangers its stability.

Description of project by Adamo Faiden Arquitectos

The exhibition "The Cathedral of Malaga. An Unfinished Symphony "has been designed in three different formats: An installation located in the backyard of the cathedral, a book and an audiovisual piece.

The Cathedral of Malaga is a temple that since it began to be built in 1528 until today has suffered numerous and prolonged work stoppages, which in turn anticipated again stages of great constructive intensity. This process has left us a cathedral that can be considered a masterpiece of integration of styles, but in an unfinished state that has left open wounds that endanger the conservation of the temple.

In this exhibition, the history of the building is told through the drawing, explaining what the different states of this cathedral have been, worked with intermittent impulses. The exhibition highlights what are the hallmarks of a temple that interpreted styles in a heterodox way. An attitude of the free and modern city that was always Malaga.

The assembly was made on a scaffolding that symbolizes that the cathedral of Malaga is a building under construction and that allows the itinerancy of the sample. While in the upper level the large-format images that explain each aspect of the cathedral have been arranged, at the lower level and at the height of the view, the drawings, plans and texts explaining each of the Issues.

The stereotomic, ornate and corporeal beauty of the architecture of the cathedral contrasts with the lightness of a structure that finds its expression in the economy of pure tectonics.
